High Schools by US News and World Report. For its 2017 rankings, the magazine evaluated almost 22,000 high schools throughout the nation. To determine rankings researchers from US News first analyzed schools to identify those that outperformed statistical expectations in their state’s English and math proficiency exams (in Massachusetts, MCAS exams). Those identified schools were then assigned a “College Readiness Index” (CRI) based on the schools’ AP participation rates and how well students who took AP classes performed on the AP exams. Millis High School had a CRI of 51.3, was ranked 31st in Massachusetts and was ranked 664th nationally (top 15%). According to Millis High School principal Bob Mullaney, “We are proud to be recognized by US News and World Report. We encourage our students to challenge themselves academically to be college- and future-ready, and inclusion on this list is a testament to their efforts. It also acknowledges the hard work of their teachers, the importance placed on education by our parents and community, and the foundation of excellence fostered at Millis Middle School and Clyde Brown Elementary School.” For more information on US News and World Report’s rankings, please visit: https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/us-news-ranks-best-high-schools
